Naim NAP 100 Power Amplifier (2016)

Here we have a superb little power amplifier from the masters at Salisbury – Naim Audio. A perfect foil to the Naim DAC-V1 this makes for a powerful combination that can really get the best from any digital source and is ideal as a second or office system. Ours comes in very good condition with original factory packaging, manual, mains cable, SNAIC cable and our standard 3 month warranty. The only real problem with this system though is finding a DAC-V1, but we do have them here from time to time.
Naim Say….
The NAP 100 has been discontinued but remains a classic expression of traditional Naim Audio power amplifier engineering. While its dimensions are conveniently compact – just a mere 20cm wide – its performance is seriously dynamic and expansive.
The NAP 100 is perfect for a number of applications, adding a dose of Naim Audio musicality to a wide variety of systems. Paired with our DAC-V1 digital-to-analogue converter, it becomes the power behind a high-end system to unleash the music from your PC or Mac. Add a UnitiServe to the equation and you create a full hi-fi system that divorces your listening experience from the desktop and allows you complete control from our n-Serve iOS app.
Despite its small size, the NAP 100 packs a serious punch when it comes to sound quality. Delivering 50 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, and 75 watts into 4 Ohms, its dual mono design is based on the circuit topology found in our reference all-in-one player, the SuperUniti.
Our engineers also took inspiration from classic Naim Audio power amplifier design in developing the NAP 100. A large toroidal transformer and hand-matched, hand-wired critical componentry allow it to bring new levels of clarity and vitality to your music.
